About this collection
Each entry below summarises a real engagement: the building type, scope, diagram count, and what made the project specific. Entries marked "unfolding" are still in progress, so names and addresses are withheld. Entries marked "client not named" are delivered work where the client has not yet approved a published write-up, so they are listed at city or state level only. An entry becomes a full case study, with the client named and quoted, once delivery is signed off and the client has approved the published version.
One engagement is listed as confidential. The client and project details are withheld under a confidentiality agreement, so it appears at a high level only, without names or images.

Cosmetic and Skin Clinic
Single-level clinic tenancy of about 75 m² on a street corner, new fit-out, four display positions
Location
Hobart, Tasmania
Diagrams

Delivered
September 2026
A cosmetic nurse fitting out a new clinic on a street corner in Hobart needed AS 3745 evacuation diagrams before opening. The tenancy was still a proposed fit-out, so all four diagrams were drawn from the architect's issue-for-review plan set, with the street corner, the steps at two street doors and the property boundary verified from public mapping and street imagery, no site visit. Draft 1 went out four days after the order with six yes-or-no checks, Draft 2 applied the owner's seven answers, and the print-ready A3 set was issued the same day she approved the last mark-up, eight days after the order.
4 heads-up diagrams, one per display position (reception, two consult rooms, WC), each turned to read the right way round where it hangs, two landscape and two portrait sheets
Drawn from the architect's proposed fit-out plan before the space was built, with equipment, bed and joinery positions set from the owner's answers and mark-ups
A street door with a floor latch and a sheer curtain drawn as a second way out only, with the latch noted on the sheet; steps at two street doors marked from street imagery
Assembly area moved from the opposite footpath to the clinic's own car park behind the building after the property title showed it on the same lot; site plan inset on every sheet
“We were fitting out a new clinic and needed evacuation diagrams before opening. John drew them from our architect's plan, no site visit needed, and the first draft was with us within days. Really easy.”

September 2026
A community housing provider in Canberra needed AS 3745 evacuation diagrams across two sites: three single-storey supported-housing homes on one street sharing an assembly point, and a three-storey multi-unit building with several stair cores and a lift. Fourteen heads-up diagrams were drawn from mixed sources, architect plans with the client's exits hand-marked, a construction drawing set for the building, phone photos and aerials for one home with no plan at all, and the provider's existing evacuation plans. Equipment was drawn only where the client's photos confirmed it, and the final set went out as print-ready A3 PDFs with a display guide one business day after the marked-up copy came back.
14 heads-up diagrams across two sites, 4 for the homes and 10 for the multi-storey building
Each sheet oriented to its own posting location per AS 3745 clause 3.5.4, one per stair landing on every level
Drawn from architect plans, a construction drawing set, phone photos and aerials, no site visit
Equipment drawn only where confirmed: hose reels and hydrant landing valves at every core, no extinguisher symbols where none are fitted, a locked slider left undesignated

Delivered
September 2026
An outback roadhouse in the Northern Territory, with detached motel-room blocks and a caravan park, needed AS 3745 evacuation diagrams for four posting locations across the site. No building plans existed, so the four heads-up diagrams were drawn from the operator's hand sketch and an annotated satellite photo, then checked building by building against public satellite imagery, with a site plan inset of the whole property and the named assembly area on every sheet. Equipment was placed only where the client's drawings, photo and written answers supported it, and the set was delivered fully remotely as print-ready A3 PDFs a day inside the client's deadline.
4 heads-up diagrams, one per building, across the roadhouse and its motel blocks
Each diagram oriented to its posting location per AS 3745 clause 3.5.4, site plan inset and named assembly area on every sheet
Drawn from the operator's hand sketch and an annotated satellite photo, verified against public imagery, no site visit

Delivered
September 2026
A fit-out contractor in Sydney needed AS 3745 evacuation diagrams for a three-level commercial office tenancy of roughly 3,000 m². Five heads-up diagrams were drawn from the interior designer's as-built drawings, one at each display position the contractor marked or confirmed, with a site plan inset on every sheet showing the route to the assembly area. Fire equipment came from the fire services engineer's construction set and the contractor's own extinguisher marks, the engineer's positions flagged as design intent with a free re-issue if a unit sits elsewhere. Two mid-tenancy doors that release on alarm were drawn as secondary exits with their release conditions captioned. The final set and a display guide went out inside one business day of the marked-up draft coming back.
5 heads-up diagrams at positions the contractor marked or confirmed: two at the ground-floor end doors, one at a mid-tenancy door, one beside the lift on each upper level
Each sheet faces its mounting wall per AS 3745 clause 3.5.4; the two end-wall ground sheets split into three vertical panels with match-line notes
Drawn from the designer's as-built drawings and the fire services engineer's set, no site visit
Primary routes to the end doors that open straight outside; alarm-release doors as dashed secondary routes, release captioned
A3 under AS 3745 clause 3.5.7; revision letter, document date and five-year validity on every sheet
“We needed five evacuation plans for a client's three-level office fit-out. John drew them from the designer's as-built drawings, no site visit, and the set went to our client the day it arrived. John was responsive, proactive and extremely clear in communication. Extremely pleased with the process and delivered product. Would highly recommend to any landlord or facilities management teams.”

Delivered
September 2026
A single-level commercial shed of roughly 450 m² near Mackay, Queensland, divided into three sections with open-fronted vehicle bays along one frontage and a small storage mezzanine. No floor plan existed, so all three AS 3745 evacuation diagrams were drawn from the owner's hand sketch, phone photos and aerial imagery, with no site visit. Draft 1 went out three days after the inputs arrived, the marked-up printouts came back the same afternoon, Draft 2 was redrawn from that mark-up with three yes-or-no checks, and the print-ready A3 set was issued a week after the inputs, after one further mark-up from the owner.
3 heads-up diagrams, one per shed section, each oriented to its own display position per AS 3745 clause 3.5.4, including one sheet turned to read from the inside face of the post the owner marked
Drawn from the client's hand sketch, phone photos and aerial imagery, no site visit
Exit tags on each sheet limited to the exits that sheet's own routes use, with a neighbouring section's open front counted where no wall divides them
Extinguisher positions and a tenant storage zone set from the owner's own mark-ups, with the second way out re-routed around the stored material; site plan inset with the client-marked assembly point on every sheet
“We had no formal plans for our commercial shed, just a rough hand drawn sketch and some photos. John transformed that into clear, accurate emergency diagrams and guided us on the best emergency equipment locations and evacuation routes. The whole process was fast and very easy. I happily recommend John and EvacPath.”

August 2026
A commercial builder in the Geelong region of Victoria needed AS 3745 evacuation diagrams for an active construction site compound on a multi-residential development: a single fenced compound with site amenities, laydown areas, a haul road and a contractor car park. No CAD plan existed, so the site base was traced as a clean line drawing over the builder's drone aerial and marked-up sketch, with machinery removed so it prints clearly in mono. Two heads-up diagrams were delivered, one at each posting location, on a scheduled update cycle as the site changes. Both revisions were approved with zero changes.
2 heads-up evacuation diagrams, one at each posting location on the compound
Each sheet oriented to its posting location per AS 3745 clause 3.5.4, with a site plan inset locator
Traced from the builder's drone aerial and marked-up sketch, no CAD plan and no site visit
First update issued 10 days after the initial sheet and delivered the same day the mark-ups arrived: crane exclusion zone, a second first aid and extinguisher point, the second posting location
Revision letter and document date prominent in the header so crews can tell at a glance whether the wall copy is current
Single-level dual-living home: four-bedroom main house plus a self-contained two-bedroom flat
Location
Ipswich, Queensland
Status
In progress, August 2026
A returning NDIS provider in the Ipswich area of south-east Queensland needed AS 3745 evacuation diagrams for a second property, a single-level dual-living home with a four-bedroom main house and a self-contained two-bedroom flat with its own entry. No floor plan came with the order, so the plan was reconstructed from publicly available plan material and photos, with the north arrow, street sides and driveway checked against OpenStreetMap and aerial imagery before the draft went out. Four heads-up A3 sheets covering three exits and one assembly area were sent the next business day; equipment positions wait on the client's numbered mark-up, and no site visit was needed.
4 heads-up A3 diagrams in draft, one at each display location across the main house and the flat
Each sheet oriented to its mounting point per AS 3745 clause 3.5.4, two landscape and two portrait, each with a site plan inset

Five educator homes for a family day care provider, ground level only
Location
Melbourne, Victoria
Status
In progress, August 2026
A family day care provider in Melbourne ordered AS 3745 evacuation diagrams for five educator homes, drawn at ground level only since that is the registered care area. The provider held no floor plans, so the first home was drawn from publicly available plan material and photos, with room usage, registered-area boundaries, no-access zones, fire equipment, water taps, gates and the front-yard assembly point carried across from the provider's own older in-house diagrams in its colour scheme. Draft 1 for the first home went out as four heads-up A3 sheets, one per display location; the remaining homes follow as educator photos and scans come in.
4 heads-up diagrams for the first home, one per display location (kitchen and play area, entry, garage, backyard)

An owner-hosted short-stay property on Sydney's Northern Beaches, two self-contained rental units on the lower level of a two-storey residence, needed AS 3745 evacuation diagrams for guests. Four heads-up diagrams were drawn from the owner's floor plan and phone photos of hand-marked notes, two per unit at the kitchen area and bedroom, each sheet showing only its own unit with a site plan inset tracking the You Are Here point and the route to the assembly area at the street frontage. The set went through five draft rounds by email, inquiry to payment in nine days, with the invoice raised only after approval.

July 2026
A two-storey boarding house in south-west Sydney, around a dozen rooms over two floors plus a common room, laundry and bin room, needed AS 3745 evacuation diagrams. The architect supplied the construction drawings, dense with dimensions, levels and setbacks, which were cleaned and traced down to diagram level. Two heads-up diagrams were drawn, one per level and each oriented to its mounting point, with equipment placed from the architect's nominations and a secondary exit path added at a narrow external pinch point. Three drafts went out in three days, the later two applying the architect's mark-ups, and the final set was delivered remotely.

July 2026
A single-storey four-bedroom house in Logan, Queensland, run as NDIS supported accommodation, needed AS 3745 evacuation diagrams for its garage, kitchen and meals area, lounge, laundry and patio. The provider ordered two diagrams and asked whether more were needed; AS 3745 placement logic put the count at four, one at each display position, all drawn from the approved building plans with a site plan inset on every sheet. Two revision rounds settled the You Are Here points and pinned the extinguisher, fire blankets and first aid kit from the client's own marked-up image, and the laundry's external door became a third exit that was not on the first draft. The set was delivered fully remotely as print-ready A3 PDFs the day after the order.
